| Descripción del anverso | The obverse presents a central vignette of a steam locomotive at a railway station with figures on the platform, rendered in fine intaglio engraving. To the right, a standing Indigenous figure in traditional dress forms a lateral vignette, while the bold denomination numeral '10' appears at upper right with the capital statement 'CAPITAL $2,000,000.' The bank title 'Colonial Bank of Canada' is inscribed in large display lettering across the centre, with the promise to pay 'TEN DOLLARS to bearer on demand' and the place of issue 'TORONTO' below, with border guilloche work and repeated denomination counters along all margins. |

| Descripción del reverso | The reverse is largely plain, printed on the back of the cotton paper sheet with only ghost impressions of the obverse design visible through the note. A partial numeral counter '10' is discernible at the lower right, with faint letterpress text running across the centre, consistent with the unelaborate reverse treatment typical of mid-nineteenth century Canadian chartered bank issues. |

The Colonial Bank of Canada was a short-lived institution — chartered in 1856 under the Province of Canada, it never achieved the foothold its promoters anticipated and was absorbed before Confederation reshaped the banking landscape entirely. Notes from this issuer are genuinely rare precisely because so few ever entered meaningful circulation; the bank's operational life was too brief to distribute its paper widely.
The American Bank Note Company imprint dates this to the New York firm's early consolidated period, following the 1858 merger of several competing security printers. ABNC work from this window is identifiable by its transitional engraving style — the merger brought together plate craftsmen from previously rival shops, and consistency across the new firm's output took several years to settle.
